1. Our policy

Everyone has the right to protect the personal data belonging to them. ArcDog respects the right of its users to be informed regarding the collection and other processing operations of their personal data. In processing data that can directly or indirectly identify you personally, we try to respect the principle of strict necessity. For this reason, we have set up the website so that use of your personal information is kept to a minimum and to exclude the processing of your data when the purpose of the specific activity can be achieved by using anonymous data (like, for instance, in market research aimed at the improvement of services ) or by other means, which allow the person concerned to be identified only if needed or requested by the authorities and police forces (such as, for example, but not limited to data on traffic and on the time you spend on the website or your IP address). Decisions about the purposes and methods of processing your personal data and the tools used, including the security profile, are made by ArcDog, as personal data controller of the users. This Privacy Policy provides you with all the information necessary to understand how we collect and use the information to identify the users of our websites. For any further information on our Privacy Policy you can contact us at the following email address: [email protected].

2. Who processes your personal data

ArcDog is the data controller of the personal data of the users registered through Archilovers.com. The company decides independently on the processing purposes and methods while respecting the law, including the security profile. For organisational and functional requirements alone, we have appointed some data processing chiefs and/or data processors of user data, for the purposes strictly related to and inherent to performing services linked or connected to Archilovers.com. These subjects were chosen because they have demonstrated experience, expertise and reliability to provide sufficient guarantees of complete compliance with the applicable rules on data processing, including the data security profile. The data processing chiefs process the personal data of users of our websites according to the instructions given by the Company. We periodically verify that the data processing chiefs have correctly fulfilled their tasks and that they continue to offer suitable guarantees of compliance with the provisions on the protection of personal data. The data processors are employees of the Company ArcDog.

3. How we use your personal data and for what purposes

Your personal data is collected and processed by ArcDog for purposes strictly related to using the website and its information services with information also provided by third-party advertisers. Your personal information may also be used in other processing operations, however, in a manner in line with these purposes. In particular, your personal data may be processed for the following purposes:

– within the website registration process we collect your data (for example, your personal data, an address or phone number, your user ID and password, e-mail address) through the relevant registration form in order to send you our free newsletters and to provide access to the restricted areas and functions of our websites;
– to provide you with support services;
– we process your data (e.g., personal data, email address, postal address, telephone number) to respond to your requirements including, but not limited to, insertion and management of professional profiles, requesting and obtaining catalogues, brochures, information also provided by third parties like our advertisers.

Your personal data is processed mainly electronically and in some cases also in printed matter. Your personal data will be stored in a way that allows you to be identified for the time strictly necessary for the purpose for which the data was collected and subsequently processed and, in any case, within the limits of the law. To ensure that your personal information is always correct and up-to-date, relevant and complete, please inform us of any changes at: [email protected]. Your personal information will not be disclosed to third parties for purposes not permitted by law or without your explicit consent. Moreover, your personal data may be disclosed to law enforcement or judicial authorities, in accordance with law and prior to formal request by these authorities, for instance within anti-fraud services.

4. What happens if you do not communicate your personal data to ArcDog

The communication of your data to ArcDog and, in particular, personal information, your email address, your postal address and phone number are required for receiving the newsletter and for accessing the free services provided by its network or for providing other services on the website requested by you or when your data is necessary for fulfilling legal obligations or procedures. Any refusal to communicate the data necessary for such purposes to ArcDog may make it impossible for ArcDog to provide the services through its websites, like sending you newsletters, providing information or printed materials, sending you news about conferences, seminars and courses, providing assistance services and correctly fulfilling legal obligations and procedures. Failure to communicate the data may, as appropriate, provide a legitimate and justified reason for ArcDog to not execute or terminate the services requested by you. Communication of additional data to ArcDog, other than that required for fulfilling its services is, however, optional and has no consequence on the use of the website. Depending on the circumstances and, if necessary at the time, we will duly inform you of the compulsory or optional requirement of communicating your personal data to ArcDog. We will inform you of the compulsory or optional requirement of your personal data, by placing an asterisk (*) before compulsory information necessary to provide the services on our websites. Please note that the failure to disclose optional personal data does not entail any obligations or any disadvantages.

5. Who do we communicate your personal data to

Your personal data may be made available to third party companies who process the data independently only to carry out the operations described on our websites as indicated in paragraph 3 above and only when such a purpose is not incompatible with the purposes for which your data was collected and subsequently processed and, in any case, in accordance with the law. The data will not be communicated, sold or otherwise transferred to third parties, without the users having been informed beforehand and, with their consent, when it is required by law.

6. How we collect your information on our sites

While using and browsing on our websites, some personal information may be collected automatically (by means of so-called “Cookies “), like, for example, the collection of the user’s IP address and other information relating to browsing the website or the user’s preferences expressed when choosing the services offered by the site. This information and data is collected directly and automatically by the web site and as part of its operational functions.

However ArcDog cannot guarantee its users that the measures adopted for the security of the website and of the transmission of the data and information limit or totally exclude any risk of unauthorized access or data loss. We recommend that you ensure that your computer has suitable software installed for protecting data transmission on the web, both incoming and outgoing (like updated antivirus systems) and that your Internet service provider has taken appropriate measures for the security of data transmitted over the web
